Financing green transformation in developing countries
The prospects for external financing of green transformation and resilient post-COVID-19 recovery remain bleak for developing countries. The scope for mobilising substantial domestic resources is limited, while public-private partnerships and blended finance failed to mobilise promised finance. Borrowing from central banks remains the only viable option for financing green transformation. The conventional arguments against such borrowing, e.g. gr…

Inequality and violent conflict: New evidence from selected provinces in Post-Soeharto Indonesia
Economic inequality in Indonesia has been on the rise and, during 2011–2014, reached a historic high of 0.41 measured in terms of Gini index of household consumption expenditure. Not only economically, the issue of rising inequality is also socially and politically important as it may harm societal stability, especially in a large, diverse and young democracy plagued by widespread poverty and vulnerability amid rising expectations. This study fin…
Employment and Re-Industrialisation in Post Soeharto Indonesia
This book studies the challenges for Indonesia as it faces premature deindustrialisation and rising inequality.
Revitalising Indonesia’s Manufacturing
In light of the continuing importance, but declining dynamism, of the manufacturing sector, this paper investigates trends in productivity at firm levels. It finds that labour productivity has been either stagnant or falling in labour-intensive manufacturing. The paper uses firm level cross-sectional and time series data and employs GMM techniques to estimate determinants of productivity. It finds that real wage is the most important variable tha…

Productivity, wages and employment: Evidence from the Indonesia's manufacturing sector
This paper examines the links between productivity, wages and employment in Indonesia's manufacturing sector utilizing the rich datasets of National Labour Force Survey (Sakernas), National Income Account and Manufacturing Statistics. A decoupling trend between real wages and productivity in the overall manufacturing sector is evident, but the dynamics within the sector is far from homogenous. Wages and productivity are further disaggregated into…
Spatial Dimensions of Key Employment Outcomes in Indonesia
This paper gauges spatial inequality in Indonesia beyond the traditional focus on income and consumption by mapping a small subset of employment-related indicators in Indonesia disaggregated by provinces over time (1996–2011). It looks beyond the conventional indicators of unemployment rate such as formal employment, wage inequality, low-pay incidence and percentage of youth NEET (not in employment, education or training). Three observations stan…
Explaining Collective Violence in Contemporary Indonesia
Tadjoeddin uniquely explores four types of violent conflicts pertinent to contemporary Indonesia (secessionist, ethnic, routine-everyday and electoral violence), and seeks to discover what socio-econo
Decent Work
Indonesia is on track to achieve the targeted 5–6% open unemployment rate by 2014. Since the country has been elevated to the status of a middle-income country by the World Bank and survived the recent Global Financial Crisis (GFC) of 2008/2009, it could not afford to concentrate only on achieving the targeted unemployment rate by the end of President Yudhoyono’s second term in office. As this measure, in addition to the poverty rate, is the bott…
Educated but poor: Explaining localized ethnic violence during Indonesia’s democratic transition
A sudden outbreak of a series of ethnic violence in Indonesia is linked to the country’s critical juncture of embarking on the transition towards democracy and adopting a decentralized polity. While the critical juncture is experienced by the country as a whole, ethnic violence is locally concentrated. This paper looks at the ingredients of the deadly mixture at the district level by examining the grievance and greed explanations of ethnic violen…
Electoral conflict and the maturity of local democracy in Indonesia: Testing the modernisation hypothesis
This paper constructs an electoral hostility index for 282 local direct elections (PILKADA) of district heads during 2005–2007 and examines the socio-economic determinants of local democratic maturity in Indonesia. There are 67 PILKADAs (out of 282) categorised as having medium, high or very high levels of electoral hostility. The picture is dominated by hostilities directed towards the local elections commission after voting day. The large sampl…
Population Pressure, Horizontal Inequality and Political Violence: A Disaggregated Study of Indonesian Provinces, 1990–2003
All parts of a country are rarely equally affected by political violence. Yet statistical studies largely fail to address sub-national conflict dynamics. We address this gap studying variations in 'routine' and 'episodic' violence between Indonesian provinces from 1990 to 2003. Within a grievance framework, the article focuses on the violence potential of resource scarcity and population pressure, as well as inter-group dynamics related to polari…
The Economic Origins of Indonesia's Secessionist Conflicts
This article details the argument for the economic origins of the secessionist challenge posed by Indonesia's four resource-rich regions. The desire of rich regions to retain their own wealth conflicts with the national goal of sharing social welfare for equitable development across the country. The grievances of relative deprivation and aspiration to inequality were related to the distribution of resource rent by the autocratic regime of Suharto…
Collective Violence in Indonesia
Since the end of Suharto's so-called New Order (1966-1998) in Indonesia and the eruption of vicious group violence, a number of questions have engaged the minds of scholars and other observers. How widespread is the group violence? What forms—ethnic, religious, economic—has it primarily taken? Have the clashes of the post-Suharto years been significantly more widespread, or worse, than those of the late New Order? The authors of Collective Violen…
Indonesia's Employment Challenges: Growth, Structural Change and Labour Market Rigidity
Indonesia continues to bear the scars of the 1997 financial crisis, with the highest open unemployment rate in Southeast Asia. The orthodox interpretation is that the post-crisis era in Indonesia is typified by overly generous labour legislation that has seen an aggressive pursuit of minimum wages and other provisions. The consequent rise in real wages adversely impacted the investment climate and impeded employment growth in the formal sector. D…
Creating Datasets in Information-Poor Environments: Patterns of Collective Violence in Indonesia, 1990–2003
Indonesia has witnessed explosive group violence in recent years, but unlike its plentiful economic statistics, the data on conflict are remarkably sketchy. Because the New Order (1966–1998) wanted to give the appearance of order and stability, it did not believe in publishing reports on group conflict, nor did it allow researchers and nongovernmental organizations to probe the patterns and causes of conflict. This article is based on the first m…
Socio-Economic Determinants of Everyday Violence in Indonesia: An Empirical Investigation of Javanese Districts, 1994-2003
Social violence in Indonesia centres around vigilantism/popular justice and group brawls. This kind of violence occurs frequently and, hence, can be described as `routine'. While episodic violence associated with intercommunal and secessionist strife gets most attention, the everyday type does not produce headlines, escaping academic scrutiny. As a result, there is no social policy to reduce everyday violence other than police responses. This stu…
Regional Disparity and Vertical Conflict in Indonesia
This study examines data on regional inequality in Indonesia to help explain regional unrest. Analysis indicates that the New Order regime's equalization policies produced low levels of welfare inequality by transferring wealth from resource-rich provinces to poor communities on the one hand and to Jakarta on the other. Many in the subsidizing provinces resent this strategy which has held back their regions' development. They therefore exhibit an…
